Answer 1

As you are using a Spring Boot related project, I would recommend using Springs actuator package. Integrating this functionality is as easy as adding the new dependency to your project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>

with this enabled you have access to several new endpoints like /trace, /metrics, /trace, /health and much more.

For more information have a look at the official Spring documentation (https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/production-ready-endpoints.html) or at the following blog post from Baeldung http://www.baeldung.com/spring-boot-actuators.
